What This Bill Would Do
Beginning January 1, 2027, Missouri prohibits selling or distributing specific consumer goods containing intentionally added PFAS, including cookware, cosmetics, and cleaning products, unless exempted. Manufacturers must report product data to the Department of Natural Resources by that date, and a general ban on all products containing intentionally added PFAS takes effect January 1, 2033, unless deemed essential.
Manufacturers must submit chemical disclosure data and fees to the state or face misdemeanor penalties, while retailers must pull banned items from shelves upon notification by state officials.
